On October 26, an engineer and mother of two — let’s call her Alicia — sat in a glass conference room in San Francisco trying to explain the details of Twitter’s tech stack to Elon Musk. He was supposed to officially buy the company in two days, and Alicia and a small group of trusted colleagues were tasked with outlining how its core infrastructure worked. But Musk, who was sitting two seats away from Alicia with his elbows propped on the table, looked sleepy. When he did talk, it was to ask questions about cost. How much does Twitter spend on data centers? Why was everything so expensive? Alicia was already tired of Musk’s antics … So here they were, trying to show Musk what he was about to buy, and all he wanted to talk about was money. Fine, she thought. If Musk wants to know about money, I’ll tell him. She launched into a technical explanation of the ­company’s data-center efficiency, curious to see if he would follow along. Instead, he interrupted. “I was writing C programs in the ’90s,” he said dismissively. “I understand how ­computers work.”

He totally knows what he’s talking about.

Those people in North Korea believe the wildest things. No, I will not reflect on the irony of thinking North Koreans believe Kim Jong Un doesn’t shit or whatever based on nothing but headlines I’ve read.

Do you mean installing electron from your distro’s package manager?

Tauri uses the OS’s built in webview libraries as opposed to bundling a whole browser engine like electron. It’s still not as good as native in terms of size and speed, but it should be a lot better than electron.

IIRC @dessalines@lemmy.ml decided against updating the donation progress automatically because it would involve juggling multiple donation platform APIs, which seemed more of a pain in the ass than it’s worth.

Translation: “Fuck you, I’ve got mine.”

What the fuck is a modulo? Is it some kind of npm package?

Reality isn’t a paradox game, so no, I don’t.

Since they’re very obviously not trying to take over all of Ukraine, I’ll take that as an admission that you’re full of shit.

You are really living up to your username.

This one must be the person recruiters have in mind when they list multiple years of experience with technology that just came out in their job postings.

No one takes either the first or second seriously outside the US.
